Rickea Jackson Departs Mississippi State

A Star Moves On

Rickea Jackson, a standout basketball player for Mississippi State, has announced her decision to leave the program. The forward, who was named a second-team All-SEC player as a freshman, led the league in scoring with 20.3 points per game.

A Bright Future Elsewhere

Jackson's departure comes as a surprise to many, as she was considered a key piece for the Bulldogs moving forward. The native of Royal Oak, Michigan, was born on March 16, 2001, and is the daughter of Caryn and Rickey Jackson.

On January 24, 2022, Jackson announced her decision to transfer from Mississippi State. The program has already lost several players in recent months, including leading scorer Myah Taylor.

Jackson's next destination is unknown, but she is expected to be a sought-after recruit for many top programs. With her impressive scoring ability and all-around game, she is sure to make an impact wherever she lands.

Mississippi State will have to find a way to replace Jackson's production, both on and off the court. She was a vocal leader for the Bulldogs and was always willing to put in the extra work.

Jackson's departure is a significant loss for Mississippi State, but it also presents an opportunity for other players to step up and take on larger roles.
